Newcastle Brazilian Star To Get Lots Of Games Next Season

With Newcastle likely to play a lot of games in the coming season, James Perch – also known by his alter ego as Brazilian star Perchinho (at least on this web-site) – is one fringe player who will get lots of games for Newcastle United in the coming season, and will likely play a lot of his football in Europe too.

Newcastle’s James Perch – also know as Brazilian star Perchinho
James Perch has proved himself a very reliable player for Newcastle, whether it be in either full-back position, center-back or in defensive midfield, and last season he became a well respected player of the squad, after struggling in his first season at the club.

Perch seems to be looking forward to the coming season and was interviewed by the local press this morning:

“When you look at it, we’ve got the European games, and hopefully a better cup run than in the last couple of years.” “That means more games in the calendar for Newcastle, which hopefully means more games for me.”

“Versatility’s the key, and I’m willing to step in wherever and whenever.” “It was good.” “It was a tough test coming here. We knew we’d have to put in a shift – they’re a physical side – but, to be fair, the lads put the game to bed in the first 20 minutes.”

“I thought we played some great stuff.” “The great support we had will have seen we passed the ball really well and scored some good goals.” “When you’ve got players like Shola, Marveaux and Romain up front, and Gosling playing in behind with his creativity and his late runs into the box, you’re going to get goals.”

“We had fresh subs coming on – Hatem and Mehdi Abeid – and they played really well, as well.” “We’ve been gearing ourselves up for this Tottenham game for the last six or seven weeks. It’s a tough start to the season – we know the fixtures we’ve got.”

“We’ve got the European fixtures too.” “It’s about getting fit, getting minutes under our belt, staying injury-free and being as well prepared as we can be.” Perch, who played his part in last season’s Europa League qualification, says he’s good to go.”

“I’m pleased. I’ve got minutes under my belt. Touch wood, I’m injury-free.” “I can’t be more pleased.” “That was my aim before the start of pre-season.” “It’s tough if you get an injury.”

Good words form James Perch there, and he may yet be the reason that Newcastle hold off on signing another center-back this summer.

That’s because he can play well alongside a recognized center-back, and young Curtis Good could also come through the ranks very quickly next season.

James was impressive in the central defensive midfield position on Tuesday night at Victoria Park, before he went back to center-back, and it’s versatile players like James who are so important to any successful squad.

Perchinho made 28 appearances for Newcastle last season, and if he’s in the same form he was earlier this year, he will see even more playing time next term for Newcastle.

Wonder if he’ll make the Brazilian squad for the World Cup in 2014? 😀

What do you think?

Comments welcome.

Really really genuinely sorry about that I was just testiong to see which kn*b would post first and it turned out to be me. Sorry.

Perchinho has proved the critical use of utility players last season. We need a couple of these lads to last the rigours of a season because we just can’t afford two sets of first-teamers like Chelski and Citeh.

The rat-eaters jut spent silly, no maths involved like yours MFH. They just looked at the imperative of CL, and like so many teams before, they peed money in all the wrong corners. KKK was such a has-been ha ha how didn’t they spot that? I know we’ve had some neggers crawling back into the blog gingerly, it feels like a whole crowd are ready to pounce come the transfer window closing, but I would rather we consolidated wisely than f*rted cash on dross like the mackems did last couple of years, and get nowhere at all. But on he other hand there is the ol’ saying “spoiling the ship for a ha’porth o’ tar”…

shear-class – but to do that we would need a battleship full of gold to buy two full teams. We should be grateful players like Perchy exist. They are the ‘cleaners’ of the team, doing the jobs many don’t want to do. plus he actually does his job(s) well. He doesn’t have to be world class, he just needs to hold the thing together when called on and I think he does it better than most, surprisingly so.

He’s not a starter but a reliable squad player, he could even be a late developer so may continue to improve for a few more years yet. All top teams need players like perch who accept they may not be first choice but give their all when they play.

See derby have a couple of very good prospects in will Hughes and mason Bennett, I imagine we would have looked at them. But I guess our young purchases will be from overseas, which reminds me what happened to the two argies Derek flew over to possibly sign!

I still wouldn’t mind if we had perch playing alongside tiote. He’s a great tackler and actually plays a safe simple ball away more often than cheick. He’s improved quickly and could do that job at least until January.

On previous article. AP free hint to look good next year. Play ben arfa regularly (ie pick him right after krul). We have previously made the same mistake with the likes of bellamy and gjnola dont do the same our season came alive with him on. Perch not perchinio can play or not same to me

Mark…I’d like to amend that actually. I haven’t really seen Anita play much, so from what people say, he’d take Jonas’ spot. For me, Jonas belongs on the pitch until I see someone else more deserving do it for the toon.

IBIZA – yes mate, and i dont see AP wanting to drop jonas anyway,but anita would be a cracking signing i reckon, and AP has said he likes versatility [which is obvious looking at when hes played raylor n perch i guess] but im definately liking jonas playing in that deeper role, think it suited him when he played in there in some of the pre season friendlies

When ben arfa reaches his peak, france will be the ones missing out, he has the ability to become one of the best in the world.

Players lyk ribery get picked for there name when if u watched the euros u wud of seen how useless ribery is, he has his pro’s lyk speed but his cons list is massive, starting with the fact that he wud rather shoot from an impossible angle instead of passing it too someone in the middle for a tap in

Unfortunatly dont think benny covered himself in glory at the euros still got a bit of growing up to do! Thank fcuk cabs has a small knock want him fit and raring to go for spuds, not getting knackered in a poxy friendly! Suprised though though cabs was there player of the tournament

WWYCD
Spat his dummy out?
How did he do that?
I was on the understanding that he had a fight with Nasri as Nasri didnt like him voicing his opinion that he was a lazy Ba5tard?? As did one or two other players!!

09.43: Remember Alou Diarra? He was one of several ‘new Patrick Vieiras’ signed by Gerard Houllier at Liverpool. He went on to make a total of zero Premier League appearances for the Reds. Well, according to the Daily Mail website, he is on the verge of signing for West Ham from Marseille for £2m.

That’s from f365’s transfer blog, which is where I heard it first (notice the time stamp?), so stop being a tool eh.

Cabaye is out cause he’s injred.
HBA tho, it angers me this, cause Deschanp leaves him out due to personal issues 3 years ago, club issues.
If he’s asked, ofc he’ll pin it on the noise in Blancs camp.
Deschamp will lie the socks off himself and pin it on that.
Everybody will nod and go home.
In the meantime HBA will get demotivated unless he manages to shift focus.
HBA will not, and mark my words, not play in the national team until Deschamp leaves.
And that angers the hell outta me, it just shows a complete lack of ability to move on.

Les i imagine WWYCD waa talking about after losing to sweeden blanc told him to get off his phone in the dressing room whilst blanc was reading the team the riot act, that lead to a bust up between blanc n benny and lead to benny bieng fined by the FFF

Les
Aye got in a propper slanging match apparantly do feel for benny tho but needs to wrap his temper up a bit dont want a mini barton on our hands!!
Think AP has a good handle on him benny just needs to carry that mentality with when he goes on international duty

Les
Yeah I was refering to his bust up with the manager. Although I would lob him falling out with team mates in with that as well after his past he should of been keeping his head down and showing his stuff on the pitch but he got involved with other things not the way to prove he should be getting picked specially by a manager he already has a poor history with

Ibiza
Sorry I know he is better than Messi and will win us the league….that better? 🙂

From a previous post, I haven’t seen many people mention this lad. We’ve also signed Lubimor Satka this summer, 16 year old Slovenian U17’s Captain. Been getting a fair few games in the reserves and youth squad throughout the Pre Season. Seems to be highly rated.

Jon Dahl did go on to greater things…He was very young when he came to us and it didn’t help him that Shearer got long term injured. I actually think Jon Dahl was our only striker for a while.

I don’t think he could bear the responsibility 🙁

Preben Arentoft, now that’s an oldie 😉 His nickname was Benny though as you stated.

Did you know that until the early ’80s only amateurs were allowed to play for the Danish Nationalteam? “Benny” played for Denamrk before he moved abroad to Scotland after that he wasn’t allowed anymore.

Ibiza- I clearly end up talking to myself. Maybe I am just too thick to get the clear message. It’s like when your a kid and go away on holiday only to find when you get back that your parents have moved. Just as well your such a stalwart – no loss of continuity when your around. Hope to catch up with you later . Interesting finding out different areas of knowledge on here. Every day something new. Even
Beattie 25 seems to have perked up. What does he know that we don’t!

In honor of two dedicated Newcastle fans, who lost their lives supporting Newcastle United.

Their passenger jet was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday July 17th, 2014 by rebels, as they were traveling to support the team in New Zealand.

We will never forget them.

Health Update - 4 Aug, 2016

The good news last week was that after more blood tests my PSA count is still undetectable

This means the prostate cancer is still under control, and there is no trace of it in the body.

Now to be even more vigilant so I can see the Rafa Benitez project come to its fruition over the next few years - wouldn't want to miss that.

Howay The Lads!!>

What Is A Football Club?

What is a club in any case?

Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it.

It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
